Bharti Airtel, a prominent player in the telecom services industry, has experienced a decline of 3.0% on August 8, 2025.

Today, the stock reached an intraday low of Rs 1860.1, reflecting a decline of 3.36%.
In terms of moving averages, Bharti Airtel's stock is currently positioned higher than its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, yet it remains below the 5-day, 20-day, and 50-day moving averages. This indicates a mixed performance in the short term compared to longer-term trends.
